Who promised you that only for joy were you brought to this earth?
From Anna Freud
Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training.
I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time.
We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work.
Things are not as we would like them to be. There is only one way to deal with it, namely to try and be all right oneself.
Papa continually emphasizes how much remains unexplained. With the other psychoanalytic writers, everything is always so known and fixed.
Papa always makes it clear that he would like to know me as much more rational and lucid than the girls and women he gets to know during his analytic hours.
It is only when parental feelings are ineffective or too ambivalent or when the mother's emotions are temporarily engaged elsewhere that children feel lost.
I am no longer afraid to say anything.
I am glad that I do not have any children.
